I LOVE how this man reclaimed the narrative by refusing the frame he was being offered and he insisted on a more truthful, accurate, reality-based frame.
Elegant.

Have you checked to see what your Affordable Care Act (ACA) premium will be for 2026? Did you get sticker shock? Help us spread the word that we’re facing a health care crisis. Post a picture of your increase on Open Enrollment Day tomorrow for #PostYourPremium Day!

UNMUTE. And look after your people.

You have neighbors who might be struggling? Show up like β€œhelp I made too much bread, would you like some, I won’t use it all in time”

Invite the next door kids over to help you make cookies, feed them lunch while they’re there.

A colorful flyer with a textured background promoting an event titled β€œPaint and Protest for Trans Care.” The text reads:

β€œSaturday, 11/1, @12pm - 1340 Boylston St. - @ProtectTransFutures.”

It invites people to join for an afternoon of sign making, chalk art, and hot chocolate to show support for gender-affirming care at Fenway Health. It states the protest welcomes community members of all ages and encourages bringing friends, kids, and neighbors. It also mentions that those unable to attend can donate art supplies by contacting @ProtectTransFutures on Instagram.

At the bottom, bold text reads:
β€œOUR GOAL: Bring the Boston community together to show Fenway Health that we won’t turn our backs on trans youth. Healthcare is a human right.”

Logos for ACT UP Boston and Protect Trans Futures (PTF) appear at the bottom.

The most frightening thing happening today is that 42 million people, including 16 million children, will be losing access to food assistance from the US government.

If President Trump allows SNAP to expire, @boston.gov will be ready to help our neighbors.

If you need assistance during this time of intense and entirely preventable need, go to boston.gov/SNAP or call 311.

Despite over 70 years of gop propaganda, Americans actually like big government services β€” because it makes their lives better. Democrats should stop operating like the gop’s anti government stance is popular, and instead go pro government outside of health care and education.

A MERE inconvenience, I mean. I’m so worried about all of the people who are going hungry. It’s awful but I hope it creates the pressure for big change.

couple things: do not panic. this rule WILL be held up in the courts for a long time.

also, keep an eye on the public comment period. the more comments they get, the longer it will take them to go through all the comments.

Grokipedia is the goal of all AI companiesβ€”they want to centralize the Internet so we are fully reliant on one source of information.

Then, at the click of a button, they can change our entire shared reality. They’re vying for our attentionβ€”if they capture all of it, they enslave us.

Don’t use AI.

BREAKING: Democrats just tried to pass a standalone bill to fund WIC & SNAP to make sure families don't go hungry during the Republican shutdown.

Republicans BLOCKED it. So Trump won't use emergency funds to keep SNAP running, and Republicans won't let any bills pass. Shameful.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.
